“There’s a lot of moral questioning going on about this. What’s right and wrong? Is it just black and white?” explained Rev. Robert Poveromo, religion teacher.

At what age should parents talk to their children about Osama bin Laden? To the head of the Child Mind Institute, Dr. Harold Koplewicz, it’s a teachable moment for children of all ages.

“This was a bad man no matter what his religion. Many bad people are of different religions. This is not about us hating Muslims. This was about getting a man who did bad things and bringing him to justice,” he said.

Dr. Koplewicz reminds parents to consider the developmental age of the child when discussing bin Laden. For children under 5-years-old, he suggests no television at all because the images might be disturbing. For children between 6 and 11-years-old, it’s a good age to talk about religious tolerance.
